“Masumi and her pup Apple were amazing sitters. She is very responsive and super detailed with updates including pictures, videos, and day to day activities. We will definitely be coming back for any future trips! Scruffy really enjoyed her stay :)”
“Sunmee and Patrick were absolutely wonderful and treated our dog like their own family member. They were very thoughtful and vigilant, and went above and beyond to make sure that our senior dog was well cared for. Our dog was loved and pampered, and looked so happy during her stay. Thank you Sunmee and Patrick! Looking forward to booking with you again for our future trips.”
“Another vacation for our dog at Lorena’s! It is comforting knowing our dog is getting as much love and attention with Lorena as she does at home. And the fact that, if we’re lucky and other dogs are also vacationing here, it’s essentially a small dog party! Thank you again, Lorena!!!”
“I think maybe sufficient to say that my initial plan was just to go to chatgpt and ask for a glowing review for my Rover hosts. Yun-chun and Ao-Chang are a friendly young couple, and with their super cute dog Google have a beautiful Rover setup with a great backyard for dogs. They were responsive and sent plenty of pics and charming little updates about the dogs playing together. When I went to pick him up, it seemed clear my dog Chef really loved them both. Great dogsitters, would recommend”
“Charmaine has been wonderful watching our 2 year old Shih Tzu Bentley while we took an 11 day trip. There were other small dogs for Bentley to play with and he was even allowed to sleep on Charmaine's bed, just like he is used to doing at home. Highly recommend!”
“This is our first time using Gaby and we chose her because she had experience with older dogs. My dog Julz needs extra care. We did a pre-visit before our vacation to make sure they got along and everything went great. During our trip, she took extra special care of Julz and made sure to send me picture updates often which we appreciate. Julz takes multiple medications as well and Gaby had no issues giving them to her. She was there a total of five days and we are very happy with her care and will definitely use Gaby again.”
“Ling is an awesome dog boarder. My dog Winnie couldn’t wait to go back to Ling’s place. Ling is responsive, took a lot of pictures and videos, and was super flexible. Winnie got lots of love and walks. What more could a dog want?”
“Top-notch care for our furry baby! We received regular updates with adorable pictures and videos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our dog felt comfortable, loved and returned home happy and healthy. We couldn't be more grateful to Tunyi & Bor C. Highly recommend!”
“So wonderful! They were very communicative and so sweet! I will definitely only use them from now on, if they are available. Couldn’t have asked for better care for my pup!”
“We are so happy to have found Kathryn and Mark to care for Rosie. They put up with her silliness (eg, raiding their pantry) and took very good care of her. We have already booked with them again.”
“We can’t thank Kaitlin enough for stepping in on such short notice after we were unexpectedly bailed on by our original sitter. They truly went above and beyond in caring for Barley, who was understandably confused and anxious due to all the sudden changes. Kaitlin was kind, patient, and attentive—Barley quickly warmed up to them, which says a lot! We were constantly updated and reassured, and I could tell Barley was in safe and loving hands. We are incredibly grateful and would absolutely trust Kaitlin to look after Barley again in the future.”
“Can't say enough good things about Mireya! Wonderful communication. Excellent service. I truly did not have to worry about my dog while he stayed with her. I will definitely book Mireya again!”
“Fiona is an AMAZING sitter! Our dog Leia loved her and was so excited to board with her, which never usually happens. Leia is normally a cautious, reserved dog who is hard to excite, but the day of her stay, she ran into . She sent tons of photos and kept us up to date the whole stay.”
“Maryanne is the sweetest! Our dog Zoe had the best time with her and Tribble (Maryanne's cute westie). We were nervous to leave Zoe for the first time but Maryanne is so patient and calm, our Zoe felt right at home! She sent us photos to keep us updated and everything went so smoothly. We will definitely bring Zoe back next time we go out of town!”
“This was my second time with Kristen, and once again, it was a great experience! Lilah was extremely happy to see her n her kids again. I received plenty of photos, videos and updates throughout the stay, which gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was well taken care of. Highly recommend, and I’ll definitely be booking her again!”
“Philip was exceptional at watching our puppy Charlie. While we were gone, he’d send us pictures of Charlie, my kids loved seeing him while we were gone over two weeks. He took him on walks, played with him and let him lounge on his couch together. Very last minute I asked if Philip would be okay administrating medications to our dog that he needed and he was very flexible and had no issues doing so. Our go to guy for future needs. So grateful for honest and kind people like Philip who will treat your pet as their own family member. Charlie is the happiest I’ve ever seen him, truly.”
“Ying is no doubt the best cat sitter! My cat is pretty shy and never lives with other cats before, so I was worried whether she can adapt the new environment. Ying is very patient and nice to my cat, and my cat got used to the new home in just 3 days. Ying took care of my cat very well! I definitely recommend Ying to everyone who needs cat sitting!”
“I really appreciate how Amy was kind and flexible enough to take my Goldie for 4 days with only a couple of days’ warning. I picked up a happy and tired doggy at the end of his vacation ?”

Best Rover experience we’ve ever had. Zita took extremely good care of our senior dog who had quite some special care instructions due to illness and medication. She also kept us updated regularly on James status and share sweet cuddling pictures. Will definitely book again!
Gaura did an amazing job with our old pup. Kai has a few health issues and Gaura was so helpful with managing that! It was clear that Kai had a great time and we got lots of pictures - which is always nice! Overall, we will 100% plan to rebook with Gaura if we go out of town again - she’s everything we look for in a dog sitter!
Yun-Chun and Ao-Chang were fantastic with Nimue. She clearly settled in with them quickly, following them around for pets and scritches. They took care of her like she was their own dog. It was especially great to have other golden owners watching our girl. ❤️
We are so grateful to have found Joanie and Matt. They are wonderful communicators, send fun photos/videos, and made us feel very comfortable leaving our pup for the first time. Penny had such a wonderful time we weren't sure she was ready to leave. :) We will definitely be booking with them again. Thank you!
We are so, so grateful to Laura for taking excellent care of our pup! In normal day-to-day it is clear our dog has a great time at Laura’s: between awesome walks, adventures hiking, and playtime with her dog Nala. And as we found out the hard way, Laura is also the person you want watching your dog in an emergency. While I was traveling internationally my dog had a medical emergency, and Laura was amazing throughout: she immediately took him to a 24hr vet, kept me on speaker with the doctor & kept me updated, and stayed with him while treatment progressed. We are so grateful to Laura for being so attentive to our dog and noticing something was off so we could catch it early, and for being there for him until we could be. Thank you!!
